22 - Devotion to the Masculine: Reframing + Reclaiming Our Stories About Men

In this episode of the Devotion Potion Podcast, I finally dive into a topic that’s been close to my heart for a long time: our relationship to the masculine. For many of us, stories and inherited wounds around men have shaped how we show up in love, trust, and partnership. But what happens when we begin to release those old narratives and open to a new perspective?I share a deeply personal journey of healing, including powerful experiences from the Fit for Service program, where I witnessed men and women in raw vulnerability and reverence. Together, we’ll explore how modern narratives like cancel culture and distorted feminism sometimes keep us stuck in resentment—and how devotion to the masculine (both within ourselves and in our relationships) can instead bring healing, polarity, and deeper trust.We’ll touch on:Why so many of us carry mistrust toward men and how it shapes our relationships.The difference between the wounded masculine and the sacred masculine.How understanding men’s wiring can prevent us from taking things so personally.Ways to honor both our inner masculine and feminine without shame.My personal reflections on father wounds, polarity, and the medicine of reverence.I close this episode with a love letter to men—an offering of gratitude, compassion, and hope for a more beautiful way forward between us.If this conversation awakens something in you, I’d love to hear your reflections.
